Update RIS and MARC translator to use series field

Reported by: stakats Owned by: stakats
Priority: major Milestone: 1.0 RC 1
Component: ingester Version: 1.0

Description

These translators are currently dumping series information into seriesTitle, which is discarded for book types. Suggest updating them to push this text into series, which appears in book items.

Simon, please let me know whether this sounds good.

Sounds fine to me. I must admit that I still don't quite understand why we need both series and seriesTitle fields to begin with.

Ask Elena if you want the full explanation. Basically, if I remember correctly, they're different things, with Series Title and Series Text being very rare fields used only for journal articles and only on a few (but important) journals. Series and Series Number are much more common and appear on various item types. Presumably for those journals you could have different data for both Series and Series Title/Text.

I think in nih definition, series in journal is equivalent to series in book and book section, whereas seriestitle and series text is for journals only. there are very rare cases in which there would be data for these fields in the journal article item type. i think for history only william and mary quarterly has series info but it’s an important journal. seriesTitle and seriesText are misleading names for special issues of journals but if it’s important to be compliant with nih standards we should use them.

Obviously custom show/hide settings would help here.

(In [1340]) Closes #590 by adding series support to RIS and MARC translators (replacing seriesTitle). Makes similar adjustments to Endnote/Refer/BibIX and Cambridge Scientific Abstracts.
